The readers’ charts in Bravo of 17 March 1977. For once, the German #1 beats the international chart-topper, with Marianne Rosenberg’s disco-lite hit Marleen (lyrically a complete rip-off of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”).

The readers’ charts in Bravo of 29 December 1977. How many of these songs played on New Year’s Eve 1977/78? How many would you play now? I’d still gladly party to Black Betty, Rockin’ All Over The World, and Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood. And the Bay City Rollers’ You Made Me In Believe In Magic is a really good song.
